On my way back from #DH2025 to Montreal with some merch, thanks to @clsinfra.bsky.social!

(Please no comment on my general appearance and tired eyes, I got to the airport around 5am...)

I was really impressed by the state of computational literary studies in Europe!

Evgeniia Fileva presents CLS INFRA research at yesterday’s “Comparative Literature Goes Digital” #DH2025 Mini-Conference dls.hypotheses.org/1952
A conference room with a presentation slide displayed on a projector screen. The slide is titled "Multilingual Stylometry" and discusses the influence of language on the performance of authorship attribution using corpora from the European Literary Text Collection (ELTeC). The authors listed are Evgenia Fileva, Julia Havyrlash, Christof Schöch, and Artjoms Šeļa. There is a QR code for accessing the presentation. Two people are seated at desks with computers in front of them.

Our Closing Event may have concluded, but CLS INFRA members continue to present project work at CCLS! @jcls-io.bsky.social

Here’s Bartek Kunda with our project poster, while Maciej Eder delivered the conference keynote yesterday.
A person wearing a black 'CLSINFRA' t-shirt stands next to a large poster titled 'CLS INFRA: Leveraging Computational Literary Methods.' The poster includes sections on VELD and CLSciro, user needs beyond academia, prototypes and pipelines (NER, REX, ABSA), reproducibility with DraCor, and training and internationalisation. Diagrams, QR codes, and logos of partner institutions are also visible. Some text is partially obscured or unreadable due to the person’s position and image resolution. Three people stand in a well-lit hallway in front of a series of academic posters mounted on partition walls. The visible poster on the left is titled 'CLS INFRA: Leveraging Computational Literary Methods' and includes sections on leveraging NLP and AI for literary studies—such as text mining, named entity recognition, sentiment analysis, and topic modeling. It also mentions use cases in research and education, lists project partners, and displays logos of funding organizations.

Final talk for today at #CCLS2025:
Maciej Eder giving the #keynote on "Text Analysis Made Simple (Kind of), or Ten Years of Stylo" 🎂🥳

He underlines the necessity of having a good infrastructure to make research in computational literary studies possible.
Thanks go out to @clsinfra.bsky.social.

A stellar lineup for our final panel discussion on The Future of Computational Literary Studies: Jennifer Edmond, Julie Birkholz, Artjoms Šeļa, and Karina van Dalen-Oskam, chaired by Joanna Byszuk.
A panel of five people is seated at a long wooden table with microphones and water bottles in front of them. A woman stands at a podium labeled 'CLS INFRA Computational Literary Studies Infrastructure,' speaking into a microphone and using a laptop. Behind her, a whiteboard displays Wi-Fi login information.

…of course, some were better-dressed than others.
A group of six people stands indoors, all wearing black t-shirts with the text 'CLSINFRA' printed on them. They are posing in front of a purple banner that reads 'CLSINFRA COMPUTATIONAL LITERARY STUDIES INFRASTRUCTURE.' The background includes a wooden door and some office furniture.

Thank you to those who joined us today for the CLS INFRA Closing Event!
A group of approximately twenty people stands together in a room with beige walls and tiled flooring. They are dressed in a variety of outfits, including dresses, skirts, pants, and shirts. A metal barrier with a sign is visible in the foreground.

The final TNA Fellow to present this afternoon is @marko-milosev.bsky.social of the European University Institute, who visited UNED Madrid in 2023 to work on his research on ideology and violence in interwar fascist organisations.
A man stands in front of a presentation screen holding a microphone. The slide on the screen is titled 'Words to actions: How and if ideology translates to violence in the case of interwar fascist organizations' by Marko Milošev, PhD. It includes his contact email (me@markomilosev.com) and the logo of the European University Institute. A desk in front of him holds a computer monitor, keyboard, and bottles of water.
